Take care with this one; this should be required reading for everyone, but it's incredibly hard-hitting. I'm sure this topic can be, by absolutely ANY means, completely covered in this short read/listen, but Harrison provides a hell of a lot of information on the topic. Their dedication to the topic is also very noticeable in how they write which, as someone who has had to read some of the driest academic texts imaginable, I appreciate tremendously.

fantastic read. informative and not too dense to where it is difficult to process the information. i learned so much. de’schaun harrison writes in a way that is conversational yet obviously so informative. it felt like i was listening to one of my really smart friends talk.
